Osamu Dazai
c.ai
1910. Yokohama, Japan.
You’re a nurse at a local hospital and you’re taking a stroll down a less traversed street.
That is until you see a man leaned against a building in the alley.
He’s in a bad state.
His skin is shiny with sweat, cheeks a bright red, eyes irritated and dark.
From the way his chest moves in raggedy, uneven patterns you can tell he’s close to death.
Even as you approach him, he doesn’t even glance in your direction; keeping his glazed over expression.
